The DMZ by Jeanette Windle

SYNOPSIS:
"Those who are not willing to bleed and die for what they hold dear will always be held hostage by those who are."

More than a decade after the end of the cold war has chilled the Marxist rebel movements around the world, one hot spot remains--Colombia.

The inexplicable loss of three major U. S. assets draws the attention of the world to the Colombian demilitarized zone. Are the local Colombian rebels responsible? Or is a deadly Middle Eastern secret cloaked by the jungle canopy of the DMZ?

Among the contingent of politicians and media headed for the DMZ seeking answers is reporter Julie Baker, whose parents had been missionaries in Colombia. Old hurts and terrors surge as she revisits the place of her birth--and her parents' deaths. When Julie's own abduction by guerrillas triggers a time bomb that has been ticking under the feet of the U. S. for a decade, she is left with more quesitons than answers.

With the fate of two countries resting in her hands, Julie must put aside her own terror to face just what God's call for self-sacrifice will mean for her past and her increasingly uncertain future.
